Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
